Capital Improvement Plan consistency and process reform
Redding
Summary
The city's six-year, $751 million capital plan covers streets, water, fire, parks, and more, but about $248 million of the five-year horizon is unfunded. Commissioners pushed for consistent rules on what counts as a capital item — questioning fire hoses and airport forklifts — and for the commission and public to be involved earlier in shaping future plans.
